Speaking

Over the past few years there have been special events that I have really enjoyed. Travelling to the USA in 2015 and 2018 to speak about my work as a celebrant and presenting to Australian Funeral Directors in 2017 on the changing shape of funeral ceremonies.

…thank you for your calm, wise and professional role in making Peter's funeral service the warm and dignified (and sometimes funny) occasion it was.
